Cold case killer returns to spotlight

Constable isn’t new to violent crime. Back in 2003, he was jailed for life with a minimum 12-year term for murdering Irish traveller Patrick Fitzharris over a £75 cannabis deal. His violent past adds a dark layer to this latest crime.

The deadly trio brought to justice

Constable and Heslop weren’t acting alone. Saharded Hassan, 28, who organised the hit, was also convicted of murder. Judge Rebecca Poulet QC has adjourned sentencing until March 26, keeping all eyes on this high-profile case.
